Based on your response(s) so far, it is likely that you will need to submit a
proposal to the IRB. However, you may qualify for exemptions in specific
instances. The general categories are:

Research involving normal educational practices

Research involving surveys, interviews, or observation of
public behavior

Research involving collection or study of existingdata or
records

Research examining public benefit or service programs

Research involvingtaste or food quality evaluation
or consumer acceptance studies

If the entirety of your research project meets the qualifications for an
exemption, then you do not need to submit. If any portion of your project falls
outside the exempt categories, then you still need to submit. Consult the
following charts for more information about each category.
